Trump, in North Carolina speech, signals openness to expanding tariff plans

Former president Donald Trump suggests expanding tariffs of 10-20% on imports to the United States, potentially causing a global trade war; Trump's trade proposals have already alarmed some Republican donors and faced heavy criticism from Democratic lawmakers; A 10% universal tariff, coupled with a tariff of up to 60% on China, would cost a typical middle-income household roughly $1,700 per year; Trump's speech on the economy also included attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris and exaggerated claims about inflation and spending under the Biden administration; Trump's and Harris's focus on the economy in North Carolina highlights the state's importance in the 2024 election.
